As most of you have heard by now, we had to purchase a new boiler for heating the upper church. The old one was worn out and had many holes in it due to corrosion. We were very blessed to find a new one and have it installed quickly. It is working very well; thanks be to God.
This was an unexpected expense to the shrine of around $30,000. Therefore, we are planning to have a second collection at the Masses on February 4th and 5th to help pay the bill. Envelopes will be distributed for this purpose.
It should be clarified that the boiler purchased in 2018 was for the rectory and not the church.
Thank you ahead of time for your help.
God bless you.
